Consilium, the global speciality (re)insurance broking business of the Aventum Group, has launched a North American Property division, recruiting Jack Anderson from Gallagher to lead the team.
Anderson is set to join Consilium in February as a Senior Partner after serving his notice period with Gallagher, where he was most recently a Director.
Consilium describes Anderson as an expert with “decades of experience” in the North American market, having spent several years at Gallagher and before that, at Amwins Global Risks.
Prior to Amwins, he served for four years at Besso as a North American Property broker.
“With a background that covers both retail and wholesale Property broking, Jack has built a vast network of relationships with some of the largest wholesale and retail brokers in the US,” Consilium explained.
The firm observed that its new London-based North American Property team will complement its existing international Property broking operations in the UK, Latin America, the US & Caribbean, Canada, Asia and Australia, with “unrestricted access to global A-rated carriers in the Specialist markets in those regions.”
“Property clients will further benefit from cross-collaboration of Consilium’s operations with expertise in these regions in lines including Treaty, FAC Reinsurance, Cyber, Casualty, Financial and Professional Lines, Construction, Waste and Recycling and Delegated Risk Solutions,” Consilium said.
Commenting on the appointment, James Baird, Co-CEO at Consilium, noted, “Broadening our property portfolio was a key part of our strategic growth plan this year. We’re excited to have Jack on board to lead our North American Property operation.
“His combined retail and wholesale experience and solid relationships in the US market will create significant opportunity for us and accelerate Consilium’s growth.”
Baird continued, “We continue to attract the best people with expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit that will help us to broaden our offerings and global footprint whilst staying absolutely focussed on client service.
“With the benefits of independence, Consilium empowers people like Jack to set and achieve their goals, fully supported by the backbone of a business that makes continuous investment in its core services.
“This model creates something truly special and sets Consilium apart. A fast-growing and successful broker that is fiercely independent, means we can also offer clients much-needed long-term stability – a valuable commodity in the current landscape.”
